Aerial View of McDonald Observatory

In this aerial view, the two large domes in the foreground are the 2.1-meter Struve Telescope (left) and the 2.7-meter Smith Telescope (right) atop Mt. Locke. The Hobby-Eberly Telescope can been seen atop Mt. Fowlkes in the distance between them. The 0.8-meter Telescope dome is visible in the right foreground, with the 0.9-meter Telescope appearing to the lower right of the Smith Telescope. Credit: Damond Benningfield
